Teguise affirms that it continues on the path of recovering and conserving its municipal heritage and has now announced improvements to its open-air museum, thanks to the maintenance tasks that the sculptor Rigoberto Camacho himself performs on his works which, "after years of exposure to the elements, demanded a tune-up."
The artistic ensemble is made up of five works that pay tribute to different cultural manifestations or sectors of the municipality, such as those of the Diabletes and Rancho de Pascuas, which are installed in La Villa; that of the Canarian Wrestling in Tao; Pelotamano in Soo, or the recognition of the midwives in the Tahiche square.
"We have a commitment to all our neighbors and future generations to preserve our material and immaterial legacy and give it the value it deserves," said the mayor, Oswaldo Betancort, during his meeting with Rigoberto Camacho and the councilor for the Heritage area, Sara Bermúdez.
"The work consists of improving the upper layers of the sculptures, which, like any other element of street furniture, needs maintenance from time to time, and on this occasion, the sculptor has replaced some elements, such as the splinters that hang from the typical clothing of the diablete, with more durable metals," explained councilor Sara Bermúdez.
In addition, the government group of Teguise affirms that it will continue with the expansion of its open-air museum, with the installation of a sculpture in La Graciosa, after an institutional declaration was approved in the municipal plenary session in order to pay tribute to all the women of La Graciosa and their enormous task of exchanging products with the island of Lanzarote, traveling the 'Camino de Las Gracioseras', in the Risco de Famara.
